The DHL Tracking API is a technical tool that allows businesses to track their shipments in real time. This service provided by DHL, a major international logistics company, offers the ability to integrate tracking functionality directly into an organization's systems or applications. It is designed to offer transparency in the shipping process, giving businesses the capability to track the status of their parcels from the moment they leave the warehouse until they reach the recipient.

DHL Tracking API Notifications
The Ship24 universal tracking API will send the latest status updates on your package as well as a real-time location to any system connected to the tracking API and Ship24. Some of the common DHL tracking status reports are explained below.
| Tracking Notifications | Description |
| Shipment information received | The package is registered and has a tracking number but DHL has not received the package. |
| Arrived at DHL Sort Facility | The package is sorted out and is on a DHL truck to be delivered on its respective route. |
| Arrived at DHL Delivered Facility | The package has arrived at a DHL warehouse and will soon be dispatched to the recipient. |
| Shipment is out with courier for delivery | The package is with a DHL driver and it's on its way to the recipient. |
| Delivered | The recipient has received the package. |
DHL can opt to increase or decrease the number of status updates on their site at any time and if there are any issues with the tracking status, buyers are advised to contact DHL directly for any queries. This can be done via email, phone, and the DHL website depending on which country the query is originating from.
However, where customers would have to search DHL to get these tracking updates in the past, businesses connected to a global tracking API - such as provided by Ship24 - can get all notifications and updates directly to their system.
DHL Tracking API Not Showing Updates
If the DHL tracking information is not updated, it could be caused by delays in the courier line. Tracking update events are recorded instantly by the Ship24 tracking API system therefore businesses can rest assured that any tracking updates will be instantly available as soon as they happen. However, if you are expecting a package to have made certain progress and it has not, then this may be a problem with the courier itself.
However, delays could also be caused by an obstruction to the package's movement such as a problem at customs. If this is the case, updates about the package status should help the business be able to understand and solve the issue.
By signing up for the global tracking API system from Ship24 and having access to the latest information on the status and location of their DHL package, businesses can better understand the potential issues that the movement of their package may be experiencing.
